how to correct these sentences?

1. I'm studying at the English school (meaning: in the school of English, so is this sentence ok?)
2.When I have free time I go swimming, go to theatre or cinema and go to a night club-dancing
3.this year is different but interesting for me.

7.Next weekend all my family goes at my friend's house in the mountains
8.I live in...with my girlfriend quite near the centre, but there are parks.
9.We-I and my wife often go for a walk on Paris' street.

Re: how to correct these sentences?

1 I would say 'an English school' unless you have already mentioned the school.
2- I would delete 'dancing' or say 'go dancing in a night club'
4 'my studies'
5 Impossible to know the tense without knowing if he's on holiday now, was or will be.
6 The prggressive would be better there
8 my wife and I

Re: how to correct these sentences?

5. Future- isn't it better to say "my boss is going on holiday"?
6. what do you mean that the progressive would be better?? "my son is 13, he IS needING me every day"??????
9. do we go ON Paris' streets for a walk or ALONG? Isn't it better to say ON/ALONG the streets of Paris???
